Cross their T and rake the decks with grape shot!

Thanks! I’ll check them out; I know I was speaking in a broad generalization. For contemporary country, I’m a fan of Aida Victoria, to name one. It’s just, as OP said, those songs and musicians who produce “Republicunt siren songs.”

Ahaha, I won’t correct 🫡

Actual, classic country is really good. It’s the modern stuff that’s all about loving Bush’s wars, drinking shitting beer, and hating gay people that’s the problem.

Doc Watson, Johnny Cash, and Marty Robbins are all worth checking out, to name a few.

That’s a good pitch. I took French in high school so I’ve been benefitting from what I remember of grammar from that after many years without touching the subject. however I’m confident that it’d be basically useless for me if I was starting a new language from scratch.

That’s super interesting and I totally believe it!

I have a lot of issues with Duolingo and did think about the free advertising and the fact thatmve started to use more AI—wouldn’t have taken it too personally if you had been throwing shade. While I don’t pay for it, I just don’t know an alternative I can use in the same way 😕

Duolingo gets it

I’m a Civ3 believer! Glad I’m not the only one.

Interesting. Highly unusual to see a term limit for a PM when by design parliamentary systems allow you to keep power as long as you have support.

Started life as a peasant, cucked a king, and helped (albeit unintentionally) weaken a monarchy in a way that led to revolution. Truly was doing the lord’s work.

I know somebody who spent the better part of a year navigating the Great Loop.

I have a bumch of these somewhere in the basement. Sick as hell but I never knew anybody else intro Necromunda so I never actually played it.

Just trying to get other countries to sell massive stretches of arctic territory to the US for pennies an acre.

Saying nothing about the old colonialism with Denmark owning indigenous land such as Greenland.

I don’t know enough about Greenland’s desire for independence, and I assume it’s messy the same way the question of Puerto Rico’s future is, but there’s a lot of injustice that Trump’s expansionism is just the most recent example of.

Like clockwork.

One of today’s (unlucky) 10,000 who has never read that one poem. They may come first for somebody you, a fucking bigot, don’t like, but later they’re going to come for you, too.

Well, maybe not quite that far but not letting Nazis hang out at the party would be a start.

Inshallah.

I and many people I know have spent our whole lives trying to change the rigged system of FPTP/single-member constituency voting with the further distortion of state-based apportionment.

The issue, as with any rigged system, is that it’s really hard to un-rig unless either the people benefitting from the rigging let it change (lol) or there’s a major upheaval—usually a war. It took WWI for the German voting system to be un-rigged in favor of the Junkers and Belgium to end their rigged system, and it took a civil war in America to end the 3/5 Compromise which was a start in the right direction and then a decade plus of sustained sctivism for the civil rights movement to see a real impact in voting rights.
